Best Cosy Restaurants in Lake Sarasota

We were seated right on time at our reservation. We were greeted warmly by our server Joanie and she gave us time to look at the menu after telling us about the specials for the evening. The ambience was very nice people dressed up a bit more due to the Christmas holidays. The noise level was low to medium, which allowed for a good conversation. I had the special for the night for the Casio de Pepe and a good glass of quilted Cabernet. I’ve been there before and they’re happy hours are awesome as well. We’ll be back !!!

We dined at Coopers Hawk Winery & Restaurant for my birthday celebration. Our Waitress, Paula, was very helpful, since it was our first time at Coopers Hawk, with choosing our wine, dinner and surprised us with a delightful birthday truffle dessert. We had the steak medallion lunch and it was tender, cooked to our request and delicious. We will be back to Coopers Hawk.

server was outstanding. The fresh food was fantastic. It was my wife and my 37th anniversary and they certainly made us feel special. Always enjoy Boca.

The food at Pietro's is always so delicious that we keep returning time after time and year after year. The daily specials offer an interesting variety of options...LOVE all of the pasta dishes! Wine selection is terrific and the staff are always willing to give recommendations . The new location is a bit small, but very cozy. The owners, Pietro and Susan, are wonderful humans. Kudos to all of the staff: EVO, Wendy, Johanna, and Alejandro! A must go to in Sarasota!

Kore is about providing an elevated, exceptionally memorable experience through the decor, plateware and thoughtfulness put into the expansive options they have. I wish their dessert menu breathed a bit more Korean authenticity to it. For example, it would be nice to see them feature Hotteok, Songpyeon, Yakgwa,or Baesuk, to name a few traditional Korean sweets. It would also be nice to see their beverage program expand upon Korean alcoholic beverages and cocktails that reflected cultural tradition: for example, Gwasilju, as an option for those who want to drink their dessert yet in a low alcohol form, or perhaps see Sansachun in a seasonal inspired cocktail. Otherwise, Kore remains a favorite that I’ve visited repeatedly and I’d recommend for special occasions.
